I had a cardboard cutout of Bond (Brosnan) aquired from BlockBusters and had armed Police swarm outside my house.

Thankfully I was out at the time and a neighbour informed the Police that it was a cardboard Bond and posed no threat.

They didn't smash the door down or arrest me. I guess I got lucky, but it happened around 1996 a time of less paranoia.
Normal helicopters can land safely with no engine power, it's called autorotating.

But this from the linked sites FAQ:

Q : Can it auto-rotate? (descend safely in the case of engine failure)
A : No.
In order to keep the helicopter simple and easy to fly the pitch in the rotors is fixed making auto-rotation impossible. A balistic parachute will be provided in case of multiple engine failure.
As a lover of the rougher side of camping in my youth, I feel that this is ideal for my aging bones.

The price is great too.... damn I want one for my garden!
The only solution I see is to make all DRM, Apples, Microsoft, Sony.. etc. compatible with all media players and OSes.

You must remember that Apple OS users cannot use Microsoft's DRM, but the Apple DRM can be used by MS OSes.

"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
